I recently saw Glenn on CNN and enjoyed his show, so when he advertised his book, I bought it and read it. http://www.glennbeck.com/ It is a slick production with color inserts of graphs, ADD moments, his quotes, and quote...

Kid;
There have been so many movies about Beowolf in the last few years that I may or may not have seen it. The one I best remember had some tall foxy blond chick playing the queen or princess of Iceland and she was one BAD swordfighter.
Let me know how it goes.
